Abstract
Abstract The disclosure relates to a multi-pin high voltage connector which is shielded and field installable and which can be assembled, disassembled and repaired in the field. The connector includes mating plug and receptacle portions, each having a boot which is placed over the wire and contact and fitted into a plastic insert and against a washer wherein the boot makes a seal with the washer under pressure at its rear portion and makes a seal at its forward portion with the plastic insert and boot of the mating member to provide an effectively continuous insulation across the connector members and within the connector around the connection. The connector also includes a continuous metal shield.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A multi-pin high voltage electrical connector, which comprises: a. an electrically conductive shell, b. an electrically insulating insert positioned within said shell and mating with said shell, said insert having plural tapered apertures extending therethrough and a washer positioned at the rear of said insert, c. a tapered boot of electrically insulating material positioned in each of said apertures and in intimate contact with said insert, said boot having forward and rearward ends, d. means applying a force against said rearward end of said boot to form a seal therewith, e. a mating member forming a pressure seal at the forward end of said boot, leads extending through said means applying a force and terminating within each said boot and in intimate contact with each said boot, wherein said means applying a force further includes a ferrule positioned between said washer and said pressure applying means, said leads extending outwardly through said ferrule.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
A multi-pin high voltage electrical connector, which comprises: a. an electrically conductive shell, b. an electrically insulating insert positioned within said shell and mating with said shell, said insert having plural tapered apertures extending therethrough and a washer positioned at the rear of said insert, c. a tapered boot of electrically insulating material positioned in each of said apertures and in intimate contact with said insert, said boot having forward and rearward ends, d. means applying a force against said rearward end of said boot to form a seal therewith, e. a mating member forming a pressure seal at the forward end of said boot, leads extending through said means applying a force and terminating within each said boot and in intimate contact with each said boot, wherein said means applying a force further includes a ferrule positioned between said washer and said pressure applying means, said leads extending outwardly through said ferrule.
